Got a chance to watch the S3 finale while getting ready for Krogenars daughters 4th birthday party, a few quick things, Yay Thrawn Survives! So does Callus...surprisingly. It was cool to see Death Troopers with Thrawn. I need to rewatch the second half as I missed a lot.

I love the way they handled Thrawn in this show and kept the goodness that made his character an EU favorite (i.e. his cultural art study as a window into the minds of his opponents). I had some issues with the show early on, but it really has grown and the character development is pretty true to Star Wars.

Finally got to see Twin Sins ep. It was ok. I liked the portrayal of Ben as it did remind me of Alec Guiness.

Two things bugged me.

1. Ezra and Chopper were able to stay standing in the sand storm. If the wind is that strong, you would be blown off your feet. I can only presume that Ezra used the force to stay upright. Chopper should have been blown away. The scene doesn't show him using his thrusters and a magnetic lock wouldn't hold on the sand.

2. Maul's death. He can survive being cut in half, then dies to a glancing blow. It's not like Obi Wan slices Maul's head in half. I can only surmise that the swinging action destroys Maul's heart. It's fortunate that most sentient creatures have their hearts in the same spot we do.

1. That never occurred to me, I never thought it was a full on Sand Storm, just some strong gusts like when Anakin brought Qui Gon and Padme back to his place.

2. As for Maul's death, it was an artistic decision, at first the brevity of the confrontation bothered me but after a few more viewings I began to appreciate the samurai showdown esque style. Also Maul was a lost sole by the time he finally found Kenobi, he even said it. The one thing that kept him alive was finally in front of him, what would drive him to keep going after Kenobi was dead? He had nothing to look forward to after that and I think that truth finally was realized, he knew his life had no meaning any more.

Bo Katan apparently becomes The Mandalore....as I suspected. The thought just dawned on me how much further will Kanaan go with his family? I mean eventually he's going to reach a point where the Rebellion will conflict with his Jedi teachings....he could possibly say something akin to Qui Gons quote; "I can only protect you, I cannot fight a war for you."
If he leaves what will Ezra become? This is one pathway that could bridge Rebels to the ST and explain why we don't see Kanaan and possibly Ezra in the OT.

Very sad to see Rebels end although I suspected this would be the last year.

I've grown quite fond of the characters.

I truly think the series should end with Vader killing Ezra. There are certainly other endings that could be fulfilling but to end with Vader striking down Ezra and Kaanan would be the truest to the character and most powerful ending possible IMHO. That would lead into Rebels perfectly. The Jedi thought extinct " their fire gone out of the universe."

If that happens I will cry ( yes I'm a wimp ) but will applaud the creative team for enhancing the legacy of Vader and having the stones to create a tragic SW story arc that adds to SW incredible legacy.

I don't see any way for this show to end without Kanan, Ezra, Rex, and Asohka (for real, this time) being killed off.

Rex won't be killed off (it's more or less official that he's the bearded guy in ROTJ), but as far as the others go...

Of course, they would need something to stop the clone aging process...

If my math is right, wouldn't that be almost 40 years since his creation, which theoretically would mean he's physically around 80 at that point correct? As nice an idea as it is that seems like a stretch.

Almost, 36 years which would make him about 72 years, but it's not canon yet. Looking forward to see him in season four!

Season 4 kicked off here in the States yesterday, I enjoyed it. Gonna try and stay as spoiler free as possible....
I found Ezra’s antics just slightly less annoying than Jar Jar.
The sexual tension between Kanan and Hera is over 9000!!!
Gar Saxon’s brother said Palpatine....I don’t think the Emperors name has been mentioned in this series yet, they’ve said “the Emperor” but not Palpatine.
Nice to see Thrawn is still very much a part of the battle with the Rebels.
So what is Vader been up to since his battle against Ashoka???
The Dutchess totally reminded me of a Zentradi battle pod!
Can you imagine if the Empire had macronized Sabines weapon for the Death Star!?! So much for a trench run...
The highlight for me was seeing the return of Bo Katan! Kudo’s To the voice actor, she nailed Bo Katans somber attitude! And I love that she has accepted the Dark Sabre!!!
Dear Dave and Pablo more of Bo Katan Please!
